Video of boy crying over 49ers’ loss goes viral

Johnny Price is devastated that the 49ers aren't going to the Super Bowl.

San Francisco 49ers fans across the Bay Area were crying last weekend when their favorite team lost in overtime. But the most heartfelt tears of all might have come from a 4-year-old Solano County boy.

Johnny Price’s sadness over his team losing didn’t even sink in until Tuesday when he realized that the 49ers wouldn’t be playing in the Super Bowl, according to the Vacaville Reporter.

“I wanted the 49ers to be in the Super Bowl,” Johnny sobbed, with his adorable little lip curling down.

When his dad reminds him that he can still watch the Super Bowl even if the 49ers aren’t playing, Johnny stops crying but gives his dad a look that says, “It’s just not the same!”

Johnny’s father Ryan Price caught the moment on camera and posted the video on YouTube Tuesday. By Friday morning the video had over 140,000 page views.

Jed York, owner of the 49ers, came across the the video and posted it on twitter with the message: “Couldn’t have said it better myself.”

One of York’s followers, Louie Ruffolo, responded “I had a similar reaction Jed and I’m 31.”
